G’day! In this mandolin lesson for ‘In The Sweet By And By’, we’ll take a look at an intermediate arrangement of the song, using double stops, in a movable pattern (Key of C). The arrangement has 2 variations, one each for the verse & chorus melodies.
‘In The Sweet By And By’ is a popular, old gospel song that is always a great session sing-along! Get your fingers around this version and you’ll be able to jump in and lay down a tasty mandolin break, in any key!
